TEQUILA AVOCADO MARGARITA RECIPE

Almost every day, I find a way to incorporate the smooth, rich fruit of the avocado into a meal or snack.

Most of the time I manage with just salt and a spoon, but this easy Tequila Avocado Margarita recipe is A-MAAAAZING!

It’s the perfect Happy Hour treat for Cinco de Mayo (or any other day of the year when you can find a ripe avocado)!

A thick, velvety texture carries the tequila, while cilantro and celery salt balance the sweetness.

If you don’t have ripe avocados nearby but still want a green margarita, try Blender Babes’ Signature Green Margarita (with spinach – sounds weird but it’s AMAZING, trust me!) or just stick with a classic margarita.

Pair this with some chips and either our Super Easy Salsa, this Superfood Salsa, or a delicious Must Have Mango Salsa for a truly Happy Hour!

AVOCADO HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS

Avocados maintain heart health with a generous dose of vitamin B6 and folic acid, and a high dose of folate can prevent strokes.

Rich in healthy fats and vitamin E, avocados also promote skin health and can offset symptoms of psoriasis and slow signs of aging.
